, once you have a positive test, you do not pass go. You must immediately isolate yourself from others, for a minimum of 10 days . You do not wait for a “confirmatory” test before isolating. To stop the spread of the virus to your friends, family, co-workers and community, you should put on a mask, go home and stay there.

Had the White House understood and followed these simple procedures, we could have potentially stopped the chain of transmission, which has now been known toHad the White House understood and followed these simple procedures, we could have potentially stopped the chain of transmission. The moment that Hicks or Trump had a positive antigen or molecular test, both of them should have isolated. They may have wanted to get a second test to confirm the infection before they announced it to the world, but they should not have put anyone else at risk from that moment forward.

As soon as these first positive tests were known, all of their close contacts, from 48 hours prior to diagnosis right through the moment they went in isolation, should have been notified and put on quarantine. This means Rudy Giuliani, Chris Christie and McEnany — two of whom have already tested positive, and the third of whom is currently awaiting results — should have gone home and stayed home.

THINK CDC flip/flops again and says it is airborne. Trump's administration has NEVER relied on testing alone. So many therapeutics and new ways to treat this virus compared to what we had available in the deadly early days. No need to fear this!

THINK They ignore EVERYTHING about it? WearAMask .

THINK Could the infection of the White House have been deliberate? The timing was just right for Dems... it is too coincidental that this mass infection of White House staffers would occur at this moment in time. 4 weeks before the critical election, halting debates and appearances.

THINK It is not misunderstanding. It is wanton disregard. These people are not fit to govern. They cannot even keep themselves safe. Let alone the American people.

THINK How is it even possible that people still don't understand this? Especially people in leadership positions? It's astounding.

THINK HEY NBC Commit an actual act of journalism Find out how many of these 'TEST POSITIVES' actually get sick. And then report on our totally busted PCR tests and how, if we fixed them, the entire epidemic would be OVER

THINK There’s no doubt the Drugs Trump is taking have affected him mentally, he is more irrational than ever, out of control.The 25th Amendment should be activated. This clown is leading the country into a humanitarian disaster, never seen before. He should be removed ASAP, certifiable

THINK

THINK Joe Biden: “The reason I was able to stay home (during the pandemic) was because some black woman was able to stock the grocery shelf.”

THINK Bleeding from the eyes and covered in flies! Such a metaphor! This administration is a rotting, infected carcass... 🤦🏻‍♂️😂🦟💩🦠 Debates2020 Vote VoteEarly VoteHimOut

THINK The uneducated is what continues to try but not add up.

THINK The White House is the coolest place I’ve been. So many surfaces, and hard to disinfect areas.

THINK Fake news
